Some examples:
- 3-5 participants will receive childcare support to support their participation at Wikimania.
- 10 participants will receive hardware support
- 10-20 participants will receive data packages to support their participation at Wikimania
At the end of the Wikimania 2022 we would;
- Have afforded at least 30 participants the opportunity to attend Wikimania for the first time, our community is mostly full of editors who have not participated in any of Global Wikimedia events since we started in 2022.
- Host satallite events for two days and post-Wikimania physical event
- At least 20 participants would receive scholarship to enable them participants virtually and also for their local transportation during the satallite event and post Wikimania
- Have supported 5 participants who would not have made it without Childcare support the opportunity to attend the event.
- Like to expose our community to projects, lessons and opportunities from across the movement
- Like to networking and mentorship with other Wikimedians from across the movement
